Confused

[moggy8295]

i was stopped by the police on a public road my dog was on his lead n my light was off but connected to the battery. i was told i would be posted a summons for court n my light and battery taken as evidence, have they got a case

[moggy8295]

I was told the summons was 4 hunting chargers. It's a lercher type dog and he was on a slip rope with fields both sides with public footpaths running through them 4 walkers/dog walkers

[bednobs]

So were you hunting/intending to?

[moggy8295]

No it was 2 cold 4 it was just walking the dog

[jackthehat]

So, if it hadn't been too cold........?

[bednobs]

perhaps they have been watching you then, as you have done it before?

[shoota]

Why then did you have the lamp?

[Zacs-Master]

I think we're talking BIG light connected to a car battery. The type poachers might use.

[moggy8295]

Doesn't matter if it wasnt 2 cold if I would or wouldn't have been hunting it was 2 cold n iwasnt hunting

[sherrardk]

So why did you have the lamp?

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm.

[moggy8295]

It was a torch just with a bigger battery fitted 4 longer life

[shoota]

How long ago was this Moggy?
It might take a few weeks before any summons will come through.

[jackthehat]

You weren't hunting although you had all the paraphenalia with you to go hunting...?

And you think that because the Police didn't actually catch you hunting, you are innocent.......only by dint of the bad weather?

[bednobs]

it sounds very much to me like you were either being watched, or someone had reported you before. I live in the country and the chance of seeing a policeman who "just happens" to be there is slim, in my opinion

[moggy8295]

Had light 4 seeing in the dark

[shoota]

What breed is your dog?

[moggy8295]

I have traners and shorts don't make me a runner

[factor-fiction]

I'm not sure about the analogy- walking into a bank with a shotgun wouldn't mean i was bank robber but I'd expect to be questioned by police

[Maydup]

In answer to your question, I think they probably will have a case.

[Zacs-Master]

Good one factor.
Still hasn't answered the dog breed question I see.
